Published on Leave a comment on 10 Fruits That Prove Food Really Is Good Medicine

By Mie Moller Bie on MSN

When it comes to healing, the kitchen can be just as powerful as the pharmacy. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and natural compounds, these ten fruits do more than satisfy cravings but also support digestion, boost immunity, and protect long-term health.

1. Guava: Vitamin-C Power Punch

Guava delivers more vitamin C than most citrus says Pharmrep, along with fiber and potassium. Its tiny seeds add crunch while supporting digestion. Try it sliced with lime, blended into smoothies, or stirred into yogurt.

2. Blueberries: Tiny but Mighty

Packed with anthocyanins, blueberries help combat oxidative stress. They pair with breakfast bowls, salads, or a simple handful as a snack. Regular bites support brain and heart health says Sciencedirect.

3. Papaya: Gentle on the Gut

Papaya’s enzyme papain helps break down proteins and ease bloating says Arabian Journal of Chemistry. It’s rich in vitamins A and C for skin and immune support. Cube it for fruit salads or spoon it straight from the shell.

4. Kiwi: Small Fruit, Big Benefits

Kiwi’s actinidin aids digestion while fiber promotes regularity. One fruit covers a big chunk of daily vitamin C needs.…

Published on Leave a comment on Experts Warn Against Combining Certain Natural Supplements – We Need To Practice Discretion

By Mie Hermansen – MSN

You try to take care of yourself. You choose products that sound gentle, plant-based and familiar, trusting that they will support your body rather than stress it.

For many people, supplements feel like a safe shortcut to better sleep, calmer moods or more balance in everyday life.

But wellness choices are rarely as simple as they look. Some habits that seem harmless on the surface can quietly create problems, especially when different products are combined without much thought.

What matters is not just what you take, but how those choices interact once they are inside your system.

When Natural Isn’t Neutral

Health researchers and clinicians point out that supplements are not regulated like prescription drugs.

Their strength can differ from brand to brand, and their interactions are not always obvious to consumers.

When multiple products influence the brain, hormones or liver at the same time, their effects can overlap.

This may lead to excessive tiredness, slower reaction times or mental fog, even in people who otherwise feel healthy.

Because these changes often build gradually, many people never connect them to their supplement routine.

Published on Leave a comment on New study: Full-Fat Cheese Linked To A Lower Risk Of Dementia and Truth About Non-Fat Mania

By Ida-Marie Palm Varaek from Welltica

A large study shows an association between the consumption of full-fat cheese and the risk of dementia in certain groups.

For many years, low-fat foods have been promoted as the safer choice for health.

In particular, low-fat dairy products have been recommended to reduce the risk of lifestyle-related diseases.

At the same time, interest is growing in how diet affects the brain and the risk of dementia.

Dietary Guidelines

According to international and Nordic dietary guidelines, the intake of saturated fat should be limited.

These recommendations are based on large population studies aimed at reducing the risk of, among other things, cardiovascular diseases.

Dietary research, however, is often complex. People do not eat individual foods in isolation, and diet is closely linked to education, income, and lifestyle.

A Long-Term Study

A Swedish study, published in the journal Neurology, contributes new data to the debate.

In the study, researchers followed 27,670 adults over 25 years. During this period, 3,208 participants developed dementia.

The researchers accounted for several uncertainties, including by excluding individuals who already had dementia at the start of the study and by analyzing the results without those who became ill early on.…

Kiwis Come To Light For Health Benefits

Kiwi Unpeeled: How Two A Day Could Be The Key To Fresher Skin Health and Better Sleep
By Meike Leonard – Daily Mail

Tart, green and fuzzy, they may not always seem the most appealing snack. 

But experts say the humble Kiwi comes with a whole host of Benefits – for our Mood, Digestion and even Skin. 

Native to China since the 12th century, Kiwi were traditionally used for Medicinal Purposes. 

The fruit was administered for stomach issues as well as to aid digestion, ancient records show. 

In the early 20th century, after horticulturists brought the plant's seeds to New Zealand – where it was renamed for its resemblance to the country's furry, brown national bird – the Kiwi became a popular snack amongst stationed US servicemen.

Today, the fruit is one of New Zealand's defining agricultural products – making more than NZ$1billion in export revenue. …

Published on Leave a comment on Nutritious Foods Way to Help Take Some Weight Off…..Diet Kits are a Gimmick, a Rip-Off for Profits!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Hi Girls and Guys, the Truth is that Diet Kits are more of a Gimmick, a Marketing Ploy. I remember the Herbalife bunch of Supplements; the Jenny Craig bunch of Mini Cans; and the Lemon Diet the Chemist sold years ago - but Pharmacies are even known to have Toxic Aspartame in their "Weightloss Products" that prevents you from taking off Weight anyway. Yes, Synthetic Sweeteners do that. So do Toxic Canola and Seed Oils. I have Articles on those. No-Fat Low-Fat Diets don't work because we need a Moderate amount of True Healthy Fats in our Diet because "Without Fats we cannot take Off Fat" it's the way Our Body Works. The No-Fat Low-Fat Diets make us Stressed and/or Cranky anyway because Our Brain and Nerve Cells need some Nourishing Fats to Function Smoothly. But don't go Crazy Keto with Excess Fat - it's very Unhealthy and Ridiculous! You don't need that.

Published on Leave a comment on Here’s What Happens When You Eat An Apple Before Bedtime and Other Benefits in Apples!

By Ida-Marie Palm Varaek - MSN

Having an apple as a late-night snack might seem like a healthy idea, but how does it really affect your body? Here’s what can happen if you eat an apple before going to sleep.

It May Help You Sleep Better

Studies show that people who eat more fruit tend to sleep better at night.

Apples contain fiber and polyphenols, which help stabilize blood sugar levels and promote more restful sleep.

Apples Are Great For Your Health
Make Sure To Have 4-6 A Week

You’ll Experience A Mild Rise In Blood Sugar

Apples contain natural sugars that slightly increase blood sugar.

However, their fiber and polyphenols slow absorption, preventing a sharp spike or crash.

If you have diabetes or glucose regulation issues, consult your healthcare provider before adding apples to your nighttime routine.

Supports Gentle Digestion

Apples are rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that acts as food for the beneficial bacteria in your gut.

A diverse gut microbiome is linked to smoother digestion, a stronger immune system, and even improved mood and metabolism.

May Have Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Regular apple consumption has been shown to reduce inflammation markers in the body.…

The Garden Herb that Experts say Boosts Immune Health
and Protects your Vision

From Independent UK

Herbalists may Recommend them for Digestive Health,
Supporting the Immune System, and as a Mild Diuretic

Chives are a longstanding favorite in cream cheese, omelettes, scrambled eggs and spreads. But did you know the popular, slightly peppery-tasting herb comes with some major health benefits?

Just a tablespoon of the thin green vegetable – which some may mistake for the stronger-tasting, thicker green onion – helps to provide essential vitamins and minerals that strengthen eye health, and support a well-regulated gut and immune system.

Chives contain antibacterial and antiviral compounds, according to a handful of past studies published since the early 2000s.

“In modern herbalism, chives are used for their mild antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Herbalists may recommend them for digestive health, supporting the immune system, and as a mild diuretic,” botanist Dr.…

Published on Leave a comment on 20 Produce Mistakes You Didn’t Know You Were Making – Helpful Guidelines by RD

By Kristine Solomon - TheHealthy.Com - RD

Here's how to store your fruits and veggies to keep them from spoiling too fast,
as well as how to use stems, leaves, and other "scraps" to get the most out of your produce.

Produce Mistakes To Avoid

Fresh fruits and vegetables are some of the most nutrient-rich foods you can buy. But sometimes it seems like they can spoil way too quickly or go bad before you know it. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Storing produce properly can make it last a lot longer, and cooking it or consuming it in certain ways can maximize the health benefits.

“Fresh fruits and vegetables are some of your most powerful tools for health and wellness and it’s worth it to learn how to buy and cook them,” says Shari Portnoy, RD with the American Council of Science and Health practicing in New York City.

Ever wonder if it’s possible to make better use of “scraps” like stems, leaves, and peels? The answer is yes.

“There are so many myths about food and that leads to a lot of common mistakes when shopping for groceries, including produce,” says Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN in Woodmere, New York, and author of Read It Before You Eat It.…
